"only 15% versa, damn no wonder you died so much you gotta get more versa, i have 20% and i never die and when i look at the top warriors on raider io they all stack 40% versa" - old gm

strong forum
#

hes not very smart is he

craggy pilot
#

this is for 5 target tho

#

so haste drops off and vers gains?

#

in AOE?

warm plinth
#

Great now we're gonna have people in here going man I only have 5% mastery and I'm dying in 20s

sick sentinel
#

TBF, he's 2200 IO now

strong forum
sick sentinel
#

but he does premades with tank/healer/dps calls it "pugging"

strong forum
#

not exactly high

sick sentinel
#

its better than my score anyways

craggy pilot
#

hmm idk if ill even use Big Toe, since 2min with our 1.5min CDs is kinda weird 🀣

strong forum
#

fyi, all 20s done is almost 2.8k score

#

so like

#

yeah

craggy pilot
#

so maybe Ruby + Whetstone is where its at for me now

warm plinth
#

Yeah, all 18s is 2496

sick sentinel
#

he's got a bunch of 16s and 17s over time

#

and he was telling me hes gunna do 20's.....

#

sure SBG maybe

keen nebula
#

Think I will setup with Icon+whetstone for now, till I get a heroic torch

#

and rumbling ruby for NO/Academy

craggy pilot
#

damn i want a HC Icon so bad

strong forum
#

why

craggy pilot
#

helps healers + dps who have icon

strong forum
#

icon is only decent if you have dps/healer icon in your group

craggy pilot
#

yea

#

had in my push grp

strong forum
#

and nobody in m+ runs those

craggy pilot
#

but it kinda fell through

keen nebula
#

my group has healer and dps with it

warm plinth
#

Icon is probably not even good in keys. No one runs it in keys

strong forum
#

then its alright i guess

craggy pilot
#

cus im timing better keys in pugs than with my push grp..

strong forum
#

but like

sick sentinel
#

icon doesn't go crazy good if you have 5 people equip it in a key does it

craggy pilot
#

weird when trying to do comms during M+ makes me make more mistakes

sick sentinel
#

someone for science some day

craggy pilot
#

and made them do more mistakes as well

warm plinth
#

You personally don't get more stats if more than a dps and healer have it (in addition to you) I don't think.

#

But they would need it to get the bonus from you/the healer

craggy pilot
#

pugging seems so much easier at +18

fallen pulsar
#

man timers on higher keys are tight, couple wipes and key is basically dead. Been starting to run 18s

tender cove
#

its just a fucking shitshow

fallen pulsar
#

felt rough on nokhud

#

was smooth 99% of the dungeon but we wiped a couple times

topaz leaf
craggy pilot

didnt try nokhud this week

#

but i guess its kinda rough with spiteful

sick sentinel
craggy pilot
#

since u cant mount

craggy pilot

all i needed was 2 12s on time and i could have crafted some shit

craggy pilot

people know 0 tech in 11+

tender cove
craggy pilot
#

they just W the dungeon and die to every mechanic

sick sentinel
#

but instead i got rode around on a wild god damn goose chase

craggy pilot
#

i have 4x 418 items crafted now πŸ˜‡

tender cove
#

like, how?

#

it was bit funny cant lie but still annoying xD

sick sentinel
#

im extremely frustrated with wow now this week

craggy pilot
#

the frontals on birds is stunnable though :/

#

if you line them up, you can layer AOE stuns

#

and never have a frontal

tender cove
#

it was one left and we were going to next pack and he just walks into it and keeps walking in the cone xD

craggy pilot
#

nice πŸ˜„

sick sentinel
#

someone dropped the fire add in ...... you guessed it....... the middle of the fire......... (boss 2 RLP)

#

we didn't time

topaz leaf
#

tbh I hate these pulls on the hills. way too much shit on the ground.

craggy pilot
#

so many people dont know to stand on the side on 2nd boss RLP 🀣

craggy pilot
sick sentinel
#

the fire add goes beside the boss in a clear spot in a spot thats not going to fuck over our movment

#

if we have to get out

#

melee gets to it faster, ites not killiing out group by walling us in

tender cove
#

works 8/10 times xD

craggy pike
#

thoughts on ruby whelp shell if fully trained?

sick sentinel
#

i don't want to log in to wow at all any more this weekend and probably not next week as well beside a vault

fallen pulsar
#

time to hopefully no implode inside a TJS 19

sick sentinel
#

after that crap

tender cove
#

just brush it off and go again bro.

#

I'm still salty about this mage fucking leaving on a +16 2 chest with 7 minutes left xD

#

like who fucking does that, even if its drama in the group

topaz leaf
craggy pilot
#

or am i remembering wrong

#

been a while since i been in nokhud tbh

topaz leaf
#

nah phase 2 I think

tender cove
#

ye, its p2

#

can someone link me their cos route from a +16 or higher?

#

i wanna see what everyone else is doing for pulls

tulip kelp
#

I just press W in cos lol

tender cove
#

same, thats why i wanna get some different input

topaz leaf
#

I just yolo in CoS

#

after 1st boss*

tender cove
#

yeh, that comes down to toys etc

#

but what about until first boss. Its harbor default?

#

i just wanna see someone mdt xD

craggy pilot
#

man having 3 trinkets this close is a disaster 🀣

#

idk what to use in Arms either

tender cove

Why do I get the good rolls when it comes to junk loot lol

craggy pilot
warm plinth
#

It was like a 392 or something, I upgraded it a bit

craggy pilot
#

oh

#

mine was 402 πŸ™‚

#

didnt spend anything on it yet

#

spent all my Valor on Ring

tender cove
#

i spent all mine on hoof and whetstone, then got grief in vault 😦

craggy pilot
#

idk i kinda like the idea of having a buff trinket and a dmg trinket, but 2min CD doesnt line up with ANYTHING for warrior

#

kinda sadge

#

maybe puzzle box is the play 🀣

#

lines up with every 2nd Dragon Roar in both spec

whole vortex
#

2 second cast while tanking 17 mobs deadge

craggy pilot
#

hopefully you can block during 🀣

fallen pulsar
#

welp, all the DPS died to beam in TJS boss one, then left the key

whole vortex
#

Solving rubix cube while blocking and parrying attacks

sick sentinel
#

just do puzzle box 2s cast while boss is casting 2.X second cast .... DUUHHHHH 5head 6head

whole vortex
#

and they call warriors dumb

fallen pulsar
#

all normal in a day of M+

tender cove
#

ohh, cast time, nvm.

sick sentinel
#

TBH after playing all of SL

craggy pilot

the Dathea trinket seems sick though

#

did i dream that they said Valor will be uncapped next week?

warm plinth
#

Yes

craggy pilot
#

cant find the wowhead post anymore

sick sentinel
#

it was too much going on with the mechanics and positioining.

craggy pilot
#

was 100% sure i saw a post about it 🀣

warm plinth
#

There was a fake blue post going around that said they were

craggy pilot
#

ah ok

#

would be sick tho

#

i would be insta 415

#

there was also some info about CC being 1 week early

#

and then it wasnt anyway πŸ€”

sick sentinel
#

my thoughts is infinite, or double valor at least, should be part way around 1/2 1/3rd way though seasons

warm plinth
#

Wowhead just interpreted what Blizzard said in a very weird way

sick sentinel
#

like, 1/3rd you get now valor, 2/3rd you get double. weekly cap, 3/3rd you get infinite, next season begins, start over at beginning

warm plinth
#

Eh, I think valor should be uncapped really early in Dragonflight

tender cove
#

valor rn is whack, wtf is 750 per week??

warm plinth
#

Like, once the race is over, it should be uncapped. Loot drops from M+ suck ass, and we are going to have rotating dungeon pools

tender cove
#

should be at least 2k per week

warm plinth
#

Valor has always been 750/week though. We even got more this time around with the first week being 1500

tender cove
warm plinth
#

Depends on the item

flat sorrel
#

How many people generally get the top 0.1% title in mythics? Is like like 1,000ish? For services that is

sick sentinel
#

3 upgrades on a shield

warm plinth
#

250-1000 per level

sick sentinel
#

750 valor is 3 shield taps

tender cove
#

ohh ye, weps are 1k even lmao

warm plinth
#

2h weapons are

#

our weapons are 500

sick sentinel
#

so, you can easily pump shield for cheap

warm plinth
#

so you can upgrade a weapon and shield one level each week theoretically

craggy pilot
#

idk honestly if Valor was unlimited, i would have full 415 gear now

#

which also seems kinda op

sick sentinel
#

i just want to take things easy tonight at least, come back at it tomorrow clear head

tender cove
craggy pilot
#

im 410 with now 4x 418 from crafting, and spent all my valor on COS ring

#

still have my 389 Cobalt Assembly ring

tender cove
#

i'm only 397 xD

sick sentinel
#

still 393, but i also have 2 sparks and valor cap

warm plinth
sick sentinel
#

starting to get walled for gear upgradeds

warm plinth
#

because you need 2400 to upgrade to 415

craggy pilot
#

should be probably doing pure 20s with my gear

#

but didnt rly push anything to 20 other than SMBG

#

maybe i push one of these days

# craggy pilot

We did an 18 HoV yesterday. Trash is fuckin brutal in there

slim dove
warm plinth
#

We ended up skipping one of the packs of the dudes in the center

craggy pilot
#

i think i need to change up my Fenryr route a bit

warm plinth
#

and doing sentinels instead

craggy pilot
lean zephyr
#

i never do sentinels

warm plinth
#

we generally don't do any sentinels

craggy pilot
#

sentinels are free with movespeed

warm plinth
#

But they were easier than the pack we were trying to kill

slim dove
#

still take forever.

#

but theyre free in that they cant kill anyone

craggy pilot
#

they take forever ye, but quite safe to 3x Sentinels when you have movespeed

slim dove
#

unless your 2x mdps

warm plinth
#

we tried this pack like, idk, 3 times πŸ˜‚

craggy pilot
#

unless people stand in the circle 🀣

slim dove
#

then its literally ZZZZZZZ

fallow osprey
#

you join a group for TJS that's all melee for this week. are you like cool, or are you spooked

warm plinth
#

Thundercaller + Runecarver is fuckin spicy

craggy pilot
#

do people kill Wolfs in Fenryr area? they seem quite dangerous

lusty narwhal
#

is rumbling ruby any good?

craggy pilot
#

like REALLY fucking dangerous

craggy pilot
warm plinth
craggy pilot
warm plinth
#

We do the bears pull

#

Instead of bulls

craggy pilot
#

can you skip around the bulls?

#

i dont rly feel like the bulls do anything

lean zephyr
#

ya

craggy pilot
#

and idk what bears do

warm plinth
#

Yeah you just go fenryr the normal way, and then go back on the right side

#

Bears have a tank hit and then another tank hit that debuffs armor but with movespeed you just sort of kite them

#

and they won't do the debuff

reef holly
#

I wiped a group pulling the last two wolves into fenryr…

warm plinth
#

Having a group slow is even better but just the movespeed is enough to make them a joke

craggy pilot
#

and i just sit Dstance until they die

reef holly
#

Group was mad because we could’ve timed if not for that

tender cove
craggy pilot
#

my highest Fort halls is +17 currently though

craggy pilot
#

the wolves get cleaved down slowly

#

with the boss add wolves

reef holly
#

Is it possible to pull the last 2 sentinels up to Main boss area and skip the center hall pack?

craggy pilot
#

since you need to pick up Beer after the Sentinels

sick sentinel
reef holly
#

Cool thanks

craggy pilot
#

wtf LFR tier set is a dmg increase on Arms for me🀣

#

376 compared to 402

tender cove
warm plinth
#

And it's annoying

craggy pilot
#

throw it on one of them, talk to the other

#

one will get attackable, the other gets "aggressive"

#

walk the attackable to the aggressive one, and they start fighting

#

so it dies faster

tender cove
#

ahh ye, the dps does that for me, just didnt know what they actually did xD

craggy pilot
#

then after it stops, you can talk to it, and fight 2 at the same time

#

ah i always do it myself

tender cove
#

thanks

craggy pilot
#

fucking hate when someone runs ahead and talks before i can get up there

#

so i lose the buff

reef holly
#

I just pull all the bulls in the center- nobody has complained yet.. πŸ˜„

craggy pilot
#

ye 5 bulls together is quite nice

#

but too much % for me

reef holly
#

Probably a pain in the ass for melee dps tho

craggy pilot
#

nah

#

if you just let them do the AOE once

#

they have long CD

#

but if you chain stun the AOE

#

they just keep recasting

#

which can suck for melee yes

tender cove
#

do the stags give exactly 1% when eaten by dragon or is still the mdt 0.37%?

reef holly
#

What percent do you need before going up to the escalator?

tender cove
#

they give 16% up stairs

alpine night
lean zephyr
reef holly
craggy pilot
tender cove
#

what is the butt pull range for the patroling sentinel between hyrjia and fenryr?

craggy pilot
#

and just counting in count

#

way more precise πŸ˜„

#

stags give 4 each

tender cove
#

4 what?

craggy pilot
#

same as bears

#

4 count

#

you need 270 count in Halls

#

270 = 100%

tender cove
#

the what?

#

what is count?

strong forum
#

It's the more accurate data on how much mobs you need to kill

#

1 deer in HoV gives 1 count
1 bull gives 5 count

#

For example

tender cove
#

And why is this better?

strong forum
#

It's easier to "count"

#

For making routes

#

Which isn't super relevant outside of ultra keys

tender cove
#

Talk to me like im stupid bro.

strong forum
#

And WF keys

#

Bro I can't go much simpler, keys require a different amount of "enemy forces" aka "count"

#

Each mob gives a different amount of count

tender cove
#

I dont get how keeping track of a unit worth 270 with varying counts for each mob i have to pull.

#

vs just 100%

indigo gulch
#

just to check in generally what phial you all are using ?
Phial of the Eye in the Storm or Phial of Glacial Fury

craggy pilot
#

i can think in 1-2-4-5-8

#

normal numbers

#

not mega comma numbers

strong forum
dense ledge
#

% can be wrong, you need 83.7% before going to kings but looking at count is more accurate

tender cove
strong forum
#

Mdt takes care of that for you

craggy pilot
#

similar to where you see %

strong forum
#

It'll display the count on the mobs mouseover info

#

And it's also listed for every mob in mdt

tender cove
#

Its called "forces"?

dense ledge
#

when you do a couple routes in mdt you will see that it is better to look at count

strong forum
#

Everybody says count

indigo gulch
strong forum
#

But the official word is "enemy forces"

craggy pilot
#

main thing is i know what stuff i can replace with other stuff

#

its super useful for 2nd area COS

#

because so much varies there

tender cove
#

ok, i see.

craggy pilot
#

my little cheat sheet for COS πŸ˜„

strong forum
#

It's just more accurate and easier to understand the value

tender cove
#

and how do I see this while doing a run instead of the %?

strong forum
#

It shows both

#

On your m+ tracker

#

Unless you use default

tender cove
#

I use warpdepelete or w/e its called

strong forum
#

Yeah then it displays both % and count

indigo gulch
#

than how about rune what rune is best.

#

howling?

strong forum
#

Yes

indigo gulch
#

got it. thanks

dense ledge
#

see it shows 222/270 count

tender cove
#

yeh, its not on by default

#

you have to change setting, thats why i never saw it

dense ledge
#

oh

brisk sandal
#

guys the idol of trampling hooves did 8.5% of my dps on our 1st hc raz kill tonight, just a little more than deep wounds. This trinket is legit now after the buff it got?

tender cove
#

I like how i learn something new here every single day. Its both exhausting and fun xD

#

so now i gotta relearn everything, yay... πŸ˜›

craggy pilot
tender cove
#

but it does make a lot of sense, just today in AA. I got lost because dps butt pulled and tried to make it up on the fly, was 0.44% off 😦

#

missed timer with 8 seconds

craggy pilot
dense ledge
#

maybe you didn't make the huge pulls and dps got angry

craggy pilot
#

but in AA theres a lot of trash right outside the boss room

dense ledge
craggy pilot
#

you can just pick % there

tender cove
strong forum
#

Cuz uh.

#

My bet is that your overall dps isn't that high, if trampling hooves did this fucking much

#

It should be around 1.5k dps

tender cove
#

but it wasnt xD

strong forum
#

From my guesstimate

craggy pilot
#

you can see your % before you go last boss?

#

and just pull 1 more pack?

brisk sandal
#

it was 1.47 million, yes true im offspeccing prot because our main tank was out

strong forum
#

I mean dps, not total dmg but yea

tender cove
craggy pilot
strong forum
#

The thing about % is it depends on how much dmg you also deal in comparison right

wide charm
#

That’s only 8% of his dps

craggy pilot
#

after i changed my route in AA, it feels very simple

wide charm
#

So he omega pumps

craggy pilot
#

just need to learn what the adds in front of last boss does

radiant path
#

Does the strike twice proc also generate more rage as if it's an auto attack?

strong forum
#

No

#

It's just a dmg proc

radiant path

Nothing else

craggy pilot
dense ledge
craggy pilot

this is perfect 100.00%

Just pull all plants and lust as first pack imo

strong forum

But regardless @brisk sandal ye it's a solid trinket

craggy pilot
#

but they are rly good count

brisk sandal
#

ahh was a genuine question as to whether the trinket was good or not

craggy pilot

It's not amazing

But not terrible either

What embelished items are BIS for Prot warrior?

#

I don’t like the end packs because of arcane missiles and my melees always dying lol

strong forum
#

Yes any embellishment is fine

#

Belt is only popular because it can proc the fire raid rings

craggy pilot
#

i made belt just because i could

strong forum
#

Lariat is popular cuz we all got baited

craggy pilot
#

dont even have fire ring πŸ˜„

spice radish
#

we did this on 24 btw

tender cove
craggy pilot
#

Lariat is good because it can multi spec easily

#

same as Frostfire belt

#

and the Vers wrist is rly good also

#

i got baited by tinker socket on wrist 🀦

ripe whale
#

vers proc shield any good?

spice radish
#

no, its a meme

tender cove
strong forum
#

Mouth to mouth propaganda

tender cove
#

but whats bad about it? Or what is better so to speak?

craggy pilot
#

literally every discord and every streamer was spewing Lariat 🀣

strong forum
#

It's not bad

pallid quiver
#

It's not that it's bad,

It's that it's not as good as it was said to be

strong forum
#

But it's not bis either

#

It's just an embellishment

#

Like any other

craggy pilot
#

its BIS in neck slot though

#

but any embellish is BIS in their slot pretty much

strong forum
#

Opportunity cost

#

It's not better or worse than others

#

It just exists

spice radish
#

is kinda better tbh, coz it gives you more vers than lariat

tender cove
strong forum
#

I'm a crit gamer myself

#

I don't do keys high enough where shit matters whatsoever

spice radish
#

i would say, if you dodge the cr wrists somehow, the vers wrist is the best embellishment

pallid quiver
#

i'm crit gang, too

spice radish
#

crit is fine, for low keys and raid

tender cove
#

I have exactly 704 vers rating xD

craggy pilot
#

+24?

strong forum
#

Nah not yet

dense ledge
spice radish
#

and i think there is a crit haste neck in raid as well

strong forum
#

Dathea neck

#

Is fucking loaded

craggy pilot
#

crit haste is where its at honestly

strong forum
#

900 haste

#

Like crit/haste is fine until any key level

#

Aslong as its your max ilvl

#

Playing well has infinitely more impact than stats

dense ledge
spice radish
#

true, but crit will almost never save you

strong forum
#

Neither does vers

pallid quiver
#

Crit's more likely to save you than vers, tbh

wide charm
#

How does vers not save you ?

strong forum
#

Cuz all the situations where vers is better than crit, is where you need to use CDs to survive

spice radish
#

you dont die to melee hits, you die to bleeds and magic

If you don't pop the CD you're dead either way

20% vers is only 10% DR

So ?

spice radish
#

10% is half an external

spice radish
#

and its perma

strong forum
#

Go 1 keylevel higher and all of your "only lived cuz of vers" is gone

Which is a 100% damage reduction on any hit it mitigates

today is wierd. in COS, I repeatedly get enforcer spawning on top of me, at the same time i am battling the mini-boss (eye guy, and shockwave dude), this previuously never happened before., am i doing something wrong

strong forum
#

The absolute use case for vers is "died despite correct play"

pallid quiver
strong forum
#

And on dps obv cuz they are infinitely more subject to get 1shot by aoes

with crit you mitigate by parrying hits that wont even hurt you

i dont do high keys like most of you guys, i've just finished my first 20s and i'm sitting comfortably at 2.6k rio, but the only thing that hurts me in keys are either bleeds or magic damage which crit doesn't help

I'm not sure what the specific intent behind your question is, Freak, sorry

strong forum

Both are bosses

spice radish
#

sometimes you have to take a hit , and tank something you can avoid so you maximize the dmg of the group

#

what you say about parry and crit is just stupid

wide charm
spice radish

and correct play is always the play that maximizes the damage and the quality of the group

not the one that makes you take less damage

pallid quiver

Correct play is you guys all not getting hit by things you can avoid, but

Haste is a huge factor

this is semantics tho isn't it, from what you said if on all the situations where vers is better than crit you'd need to pop cds anyway, it makes vers worse than crit

then you dont even need vers

Obv it's not reliable

But like I said

void marten
# strong forum But am I wrong with what I said

I can't say you are objectively wrong or right, but from my personal experience literally the only damage i take is either bleed from random mobs that I can't or won't kite due to boon/other stuff etc. or some magic damage shenanigans

spice radish
#

lets do 5 x 25 keys in order to get that 1 rng that you gonna parry the bleed that would kill you

warm plinth
#

Do tell

#

What situation is that

pallid quiver

That's a fucking hot ass take if I've ever seen one

void marten
#

so from my point of view if

stat 1: helps me do more damage but doesn't help me at all with the stuff i have hard time to begin with
stat 2: probably worse on paper but helps me on my weaknesses

i would choose stat 2 wouldn't i?

Idk your healer is overwhelmed, you have basically 10% more hp to live a pack, or a bleed will take maybe 1 more tick to kill you

my two choices are going to result in decent Ilvl jumps to. but i think shield with no embelishment would give me more survivability than the belt will even though the belt is a 23 ilvl jump and the shield is a 16 ilvl jump

Which is what makes pugging keys a nightmare in the mid range

#

Pugging on high end is more tolerable

But still a gamba

warm plinth
#

The base requirement for healers is higher, which means you have a lot less room for them to carry shitty pugs that stand in everything

#

Makes keys feel a lot rougher

pallid quiver

My biggest issue with pugging has constantly been people managing to pull mobs I didn't even think it was possible to pull

anyone know how much damage the belt does over a key? give or take. i know fangs does only like 1.2% of my damage (66.65mil total it did 1.07mil

The only one that doesn't count as embellishment is the extended food buff

is it through death though?, if food embellishment is, its worth it, longer buff not really, you die, no food buff, RIP

thats 15 seconds alone in a key, 5 for the death, 10 for the food

The food embellishment is worth it for keys alone

no, but time wise its extremely expensive

thats also 10 seconds of travel movment speed lost

Worth the 100k for the QoL improvement

warm plinth

I would argue that the time difference between eating food to refresh it and just continuing on without the food buff is probably insignificant.

If it was more affordable, sure, why not

But not paying 100k just so I can have a food buff the whole run

if its 5 targets, it wants ruby + whetstone. If its 3 targets? it come down to lust, weather it prefers whetstone + hoof or whetstone+ grief
